MRS. EMMONS HOME AGAIN.
Her Return Voyage From Europe
Without Notable Incident.

Mrs. Weltha A. EmmOns, wife OF Prot S. F. EN-
mons, OF the Geological Survey, and respondent in
the recent insanity proceedings in the District
court, was one OF the passengers who arrived In
New York on the North German Lloyd steamer
Aller Saturday. Mrs. EmmonS left this city to 20
to London about month ago. Returning, she took
passage on the Aller at Southampton. Her voyage
appears to have been uneventful. The only thing
she did that attracted notice was to go on the
bridge OF the steamer despite the fact that she had
been cautioned by the steward that it was against
the rules. First Officer Won Hugo was on duty,
and it was after midnight on the second day out.
As soon as the officer saw her he told her she must
not come up, and he says she quietly went back to
the cabin. "This tranSgressiOn of a known rule
was about the only thing out Of the way on the
voyage" said CHIEF Steward Winter in speaking of
the matter. ''She took great pride in the adOrn-
ment OF her staterOOm and often assisted the bed
room steward in the morning to attend to it. 1t
was fixed up like q Turkish harem: with rugs of
skins upon the floor and the walls Ornamented In
fanclful manner. Mrs. EmmOnS often talked with
the passengers, but rarely at any length. Long
talks made her excited. She was nervous when
we came In, and said she would be sick again.
Sne made no friends with the male passengers
l understood that her lawyer cabled $3.50 to her
and a request to see her on important business" F"
Mrs. EmmOnS name was not placed upon the
passenger lists, and her intention evidently was to
pass through New York without exciting any no
Ilce, as Sne mad almost succeeded In doing twice
before.

was being Inspected the lady seated herself upon q
trunk and serenely waited. The trunks, hand
bags, and parcels contained silks and costly wear
Ing apparel almost without end ornaments and
valuable br1c-a-brac. There were also number
OF LOndOn-made bOnnetS OF the very latest pat
tern. MrS. SIMMONS herself looked much better
than before her departure for England. Her trip
abroad had evidently done her good. She was at
tired In neat Snun-cOlOred travelling suit, with
dOlman to match. Her baggage, after inspection,
was at once sent by her order TO the Pennsylvania
depot In Jersey City, where it was checked for Bal
t1more direct. Mrs EmmOnS was driven to the de-
pot In close carriage, where her ticket was pur-
cnaSeQ. ana she saw personally to the disposal OF
ner eHecCS Id the baggage-rOOm. But few even OF
ner personal H1endS In New York knew OF her ar

WHY MRS. HAMONs RETURNS.
MRS. EmmOns' counsel, Mr.. Garnett, said to q
STAR reporter this afternoon that he had not seen
Mrs. Emmons yet and did not think she had ar
rived IN the city. 1t is thought that Mrs. Emmons

sne mas made her home recently. MI. Garnett said
tnat her coming at this time was prearranged, az

noI caDie her to come home, but simply mott
ned her that the case was coming up

10 dispose OF the lease Of her house In st. Johns
WOOd, and to get possession OF some effects she
. lelt tnere when she came here last fall, as heI
vlslI 10 tnls country then was intended to be only
temporary. Mr.. Garnett said he knew nothing o1
any 0iVorce proceedings or agreement for sepa'
ratlon. Az present they were attending only tG
